[QUOTE="donna723, post: 317803, member: 1883"] :raspberry-tounge: My son is amazed that I can get by with a phone that does nothing but make and receive PHONE CALLS! And most of the time it's not even turned on. And I had no idea that it could do the texting until my son sent me a text message! I still have no idea how to actually SEND a text message. It would be nice if it displayed the correct time but I have no idea how to change that either. I guess I'm 'old school'. I had no idea how technologically behind I was until I was in a foster parenting class a few years ago with several other people including a Mennonite couple. In the middle of the class someone's cell phone rang and everybody dug theirs out to see if it was them. And finally the Mennonite man reached into the bib of his overalls and pulled out a little cell phone and just stared at it bewildered while it rang. And his wife was going, "[I]The GREEN button, John! Push the GREEN button[/I]!" And that's when I realized that even Mennonites are more technologically advanced than I am! If my phone ever rings (it's always my son), I still stare at it for a minute and then I remember the Mennonite lady saying, "[I]Push the GREEN button, John[/I]!", so I push the green button and there's my son!
